A Good American Classical Mahogany Bowfront Chest, c. 1820-1830, in the manner of Joseph Barry, Philadelphia, the rectangular top above a frieze fronted by recessed circle flanked by acanthine panels, the three lower graduated bowfront drawers sided by Ionic columns, the plinth raised on ring-turned feet, height 42.75in., width 44 in., depth 24.25in. E3000/5000 Note: This chest is closely related to the work of Joseph B. Barry, a noted Philadelphia cabinetmaker. Although having a larger case and with bolder columnar supports typical of the late 1820's to early 1830's it retains the bowed front design and ring turned feet. Similar examples are illustrated in "Classical Taste in America, 1800-1840", by Wendy A. Cooper, and in Furniture in Maryland 1740-1940, by Geogory R. Weidman.
